A four-year-old boy who was walking hand-in-hand with his father has died after being hit by a four-wheel drive in a medical centre carpark at Berwick, in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs.

Detective Sergeant Mark Amos said the four-wheel-drive was travelling along Kangan Drive towards Clyde Road about 12:00pm when the car careered over a median strip into the carpark of the Epworth Medical Centre.

"As he was negotiating a left-hand bend, the driver for some reason failed to take the bend," he said.
